IndicationNapiers Valerian Tincture is a licensed herbal remedy used to aid sleep and for the temporary relief of the symptoms of mild anxiety, based exclusively on traditional use only.

Anxiety is when you are feeling anxious, nervous or worried, or if you are having panic attacks. Everyone experiences feelings of anxiety at some point in their life and Valerian can help them cope.

Traditional Use

Valerian is listed in the British Pharmaceutical Codex and is one of the most common non-prescriptive sedatives on the market in Europe. It is thought that Valerian targets GABA (benzodiazepine) receptors in the brain helping to reduce anxious feelings. It is safe, non-addictive, sedative, relaxing & antispasmodic.

Known as a 'daytime sedative', Valerian does not sedate the body so performance, concentration and memory are unaffected during the day while promoting a restful night sleep.

Sleep

Valerian encourages sleep and improves sleep quality especially for those who find it hard to sleep because of anxiety or spasmodic pain. An ideal alternative for people who find pharmaceutical sedatives or sleeping tablets make them feel drowsy and groggy.
